Creator's Key Takeaways

That pre cruise hotel bill is the vacation buzzkill nobody talks about, right?

I'm Pam. I cruise on casino deals, fly with points, and stretch every dollar in port.

The answer, my friends, is all about credit card points.

We got the room, the comfort, the luxury, the convenience, and our bank account remained untouched for that pre- cruise night.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use credit card reward points for pre-cruise hotel stays.
✓Start with one good hotel co-branded or flexible travel card.
✓Time card applications before large planned purchases to hit welcome bonuses.
✓Always pay your card balance in full each month to avoid interest.
✓Stick with one or two hotel loyalty programs to concentrate points.
